The Communist Party continues to protect his memory; his mug still dominates Tiananmen Square in Beijing. And while the Chinese generally acknowledge his brutality, most seem to cherish his image as founder of the nation, who overturned centuries of humiliation at the hands of foreign powers.

In fact, it begins in an entirely different genre, when a good-hearted mug named Moss stumbles onto the remains of a drug deal gone bad: six bodies out in the desert and a satchel full of $2.4 million in very hot cash. After some mental hand wringing, Moss takes the money and runs, knowing that whoever set up the deal will probably come after both it and him. "It's a mess, aint it Sheriff?" a local deputy says...
